Happy, happy Tuesday!

I spent the last two days creating all my projects with the yummy Lime Tart kit (I should be able to share later on this week) and now my house needs some serious cleaning. I love to listen to my ipod while cleaning but I need some new upbeat music. I love listening to oldies like Prince, the Bee Gees, and K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Really, I am not kidding. LOL So anyone have any suggestions of some new music I can download?

Have you been to Emma's Paperie yet? The projects this week are amazing once again! Cindy asked us to use the color butternut in a card or project and I have to admit that I wasn't sure about this one but now I am addicted! :) I have since made another card and a layout using this wonderful color. Here is the card I created for the challenge. I absolutely love all the Jenni Bowlin stuff that Cindy carries in the store and this ledger paper is one of my favorites. I used that as the inspiration for my card.

I created the tag by stamping the outline and then using some Fancy Pants rub-ons. Then I just ran it through my printer for the sentiment. The green paper is from Graphic 45. I love the back of this paper too and it was VERY hard for me to cut up. Links to all supplies are listed on the Emma's blog if you are looking for specifics.

Thanks for checking in this morning and have a fabulous day!

Happy Veteran's Day

I want to wish a Happy Veteran's Day to everyone who serves or has served in the military or is married to a soldier. Without them we wouldn't have this great country to call home.

Well, I knew it was going to busy weekend but man, it wore me out! It was so wonderful though. Both the girls did a fabulous job at their meets. Lauren had a little trouble on the bars and beam this meet but she knocked it out of the park on the vault and walked out with her first gold medal! Katie was just as successful. Although she was upset about getting disqualified on the breast stroke she did fabulous on both the back stroke and freestyle. She knocked 18 seconds off her previous freestyle time! I am so proud of both of them, not because of their success but because of their dedication, effort and amazing sportsmanship.

The visit with my parents was so nice but way too short. They didn't end up getting in until midnight. We had to be up 5:45 in order to get to Lauren's meet. I know they were just exhausted and everyone hit the sack pretty early on Saturday night so I didn't get to spend much time catching up. My mom, sister and I did get to do a little Christmas shopping on Sunday before they went home.

Oh...speaking of being busy, I got my Lime Tart kit on Friday and have been busy creating. The kit is absolutely fabulous. I got the Ala Tarte this month. I just love all the amazing Fancy Pants papers, the ribbon and rub-ons in this kit. YUM-O. The other two kits look awesome too. I wish I could share with you but I have to keep it under wraps for a few more days. How about a litte sneak instead?

Don't forget you can order the kits through Odd Bird Planet if you are in the US.

Well, I have a few more projects I want to get done. Have a fantastic day and thanks for stopping by.

Want some free goodies?

There is nothing better than freebies right? Have you seen the amazing chipboard from Magistical Memories? They have some of the cutest pieces. One of my favorites would definitely be the Potty People. How cute are they?

Check out the blog and leave a comment for your chance to win them along with a ton of other cool chipboard!

It's Friday!!!

Busy day ahead spending time with kiddos at the school and getting ready for my parents to come. Still have to finish bathrooms...bleckkkkk. But I wanted to pop in real quick and share a quick card I made last night for a friend of mine.



She is the most generous person I have ever met and I was sad to hear this weekend that her grandmother passed away. This woman raised her from the time she was young. One important thing this friend taught me is to never underestimate what a kind word and a little charity can do to change a life.

Anyway, sorry about the crummy picture. Had to take it early this morning before I got it in the mail. I used another one of the awesome sketches over at the CPS blog.

Have a fabulous weekend!

MIA

Sorry I have been missing in action lately. I have been feeling a bit out of sorts lately and really need to get myself back on track. I haven't been doing much scrapping, just lots of other things going on.

I am so excited that my parents are coming to visit this weekend. L has her gymnastics meet at 8 am and K's swim meet is at noon. My parents thought it would be the perfect time for them to see them perform. It is going to be a little rushed and busy but I am sure we are going to have a great time.

I don't have anything new but I thought I would share a layout that was in Memory Makers not too long ago in honor of my parents coming to visit. My mom is just the sweetest and I admire her in so many ways.

Hope you have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping in.

Has your voice been heard?

Lots to do today. I just wanted to pop in and ask you to take time to vote.

Have a great Tuesday!

Oh What a Glorious Weekend

I can't believe we had 70 degree weather this weekend. It was gorgeous. Lots of play time outside, Colts game on Sunday night and no scrappin' but I am one happy chica. I just love starting a week after a weekend like this. Everything feels right with the world.

I do have some photos to share with you of the girls decorating their cute little haunted houses. I really need to get better pictures of the finished houses. Too much flash on these.

Have a fabulous week and thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Lisa
